Car waxing
February 26, 2024
To keep the car clean and tidy, waxing is essential. Many drivers have a one-sided understanding of this, either frequent waxing, or simply do not play; some drivers believe that car wax is more expensive as possible, specializing in the use of imported car wax. In fact, these practices are not appropriate. So, how should we wax the car?
1. Types and Choices of Car Wax At present, there are a wide variety of car waxes in the market, ranging from solids and liquids, to top-end and mid-range, and domestic and import options. Due to the different performance of various waxes, their effects are not the same. Therefore, care must be taken when selecting them. Improper selection not only does not protect the body, but also discolors the paint. Under normal circumstances, it should be based on the characteristics of car wax, the newness of the vehicle, paint color and driving environment and other factors. For limousines, high-grade car wax can be used; new car is best to use color coated wax to protect the body's luster and color; summer should use anti-UV car wax; when the driving environment is poor, it is more appropriate to use protective resin wax ; And for ordinary vehicles, use regular pearl or metallic paint series car wax. Of course, the choice of car wax must also be considered when adapting to the color of the car paint. Generally, dark car paint uses car wax of black, red and green series, and light car paint uses silver, white and pearl car wax.
2, car waxing matters needing attention (1) The new car should not be waxing. It is not enough to wax a vehicle after someone buys a new one. Because the new car itself has a layer of protective wax on the paint layer, premature waxing will remove the original wax on the surface of the new car, resulting in unnecessary waste. Generally, the new car will not have to rush to wax within five months of buying back.
(2) To master the waxing frequency. The time interval for waxing should also be different due to the environment in which the vehicle is driving and the parking place. Generally, there are garages for parking, and vehicles that are mostly on good roads will wax once every 3-4 months. For vehicles parked in the open air, it is best to apply wax every 2-3 months due to wind and rain. Of course, this is not a hard rule. When you feel it is not smooth with your hand, you can wax it again.
(3) Before the waxing, it is best to use the car wash water to clean the dirt and dust on the exterior of the body. Remember not to use detergent and soapy water blindly, as the sodium chloride ingredients contained in it will attack the paintwork, wax film and rubber parts of the car, which will make the car paint lose luster and the rubber parts will age. If there is no special car wash water, the vehicle can be washed with clean water and the car body can be wiped dry and then waxed.
(4) The car should be waxed in a cool place to ensure that the car body does not become hot. Because with the increase of temperature, the adhesion of car wax becomes worse, which will affect the waxing quality.
(5) When waxing, apply a proper amount of car wax to the sponge block and apply it on the vehicle body in a straight line. Do not apply the wax to the car or paint it in a circle. A job must be completed continuously. Do not apply it. Stop; General wax layer after 5 - 10min with a new towel to polish, but fast car wax should be coated while polishing.
(6) After the car body is waxed, some car wax will remain in the gaps between the lights, license plates, doors, and luggage compartments, making the car body look unattractive. Wax scales in these areas may rust if not cleaned in time. Therefore, the wax must be completely removed after the wax is finished, so as to obtain a perfect waxing effect.
In short, like people need beauty care, cars also need to be waxed regularly to maintain a more beautiful and beautiful car capacity.
